Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts

4 TBS basil pesto

4 large strips Prosciutto, Parma ham or similar lean cured ham

1 jar your favorite spaghetti sauce (without meat!)

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 cup sliced green olives (optional)

1 TBS, small capers (optional)

About 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Grease a shallow casserole with olive oil and preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C.

Flatten chicken breasts and pound gently until fairly uniform in thickness.

Spread each breast with pesto and roll up loosely.

Wrap each chicken breast in Prosciutto, fasten with toothpicks and lay in prepared pan.

Crush the garlic clove and add it (along with the olives and capers, if desired) to the spaghetti sauce, then spoon the sauce around the breasts, but not covering them.

I like the olives and capers because it gives this dish a bit of bite.

Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over all and bake 30-40 minutes or until cheese is browned and bubbly and breasts are cooked through.

Serve with penne pasta cooked al dente and a green salad.
